hello dear friends, i aim to make an iso file on a usb stick named eos1.iso located in the /Videos/ folder. the command i tried was: `sudo dd bs=4M if=/Videos/eos1.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync`. it seems to fail, and i need help fixing it. could you check the path and ensure i'm using the full device? the progress should show something now. i think adjusting the path slightly helped—look for the corrected line with the extra "~" in the location. i’m looking forward to your advice!

Check if the file resides in /Videos or if it's located in your home directory. Then navigate to the ISO directory and use pwd to display the complete path.

Appreciate the message—thanks for the update! It looks like everything came through smoothly. For checking results, using `lsblk` or `fdisk -l` works well. Let me know if you need more help!

Your aim seems to be simply verifying the integrity of the data. Likely you won’t be focusing on anything else at this stage. You’ll likely import the USB content and match its checksum with the corresponding ISO file.

Good morning Electronic Wizardy, thank you for your message. Just wanted to confirm if the initial checks are merely a quick verification of what we've built! Appreciate your suggestion to test it—if everything works smoothly, I’ll have an ISO ready on the stick! Update: If we run lsblk and see something like sda 8:0 0 119,2G... then we know the setup is correct.
